Having Intermittent Abdominal Discomfort. Had Urinalysis. Findings?
My husband just had a urinalysis. It was cloudy, gravity was 1.007, trace of occult blood, epithelial cells 0-5, bacteria UA slight, amorphous UA present, sperm cells present... all other components were normal or negative. He has been having intermitent mild abdominal discomfort, but no other symptoms, with no pain on exam. Blood work shows high cholesterol, but no other problems. His doctor ordered an ultra sound & xray, to rule out kidney stones... which we think sounds rather expensive. There was no prostate exam, but after reading posdible causes for bloid & bacteria in urine, could it be prostatitis? Is this a normal course of action, or would a round of antibiotics be tried first?

Hi,
If there is no burning or frequency of urination- I don't think you should think of prostate involvement or antibiotic course.
Urine analysis shows uric acid &occcult blood that's why he was advised for exclusion of kidney stones.
At the most an ayurvedic medicine like Cystone can be tried foe the relief,
Please exclude digestive problems .
I would suggest,if there is no relief ,it's better to investigate & exclude stones . A early diagnosis ,early management & early cure are best . Kidney problems are notorious & troublesome .So must be treated the earliest.
Thanks.
